'My first time in Japan'

By Sephi Grinkrug

It was a nerve-racking experience because it was my first time in Japan and I was nervous that Japan would not feel like home at all, but driving through the streets on the left side felt weird for about five seconds, then it felt normal until I really looked at it. This experience reminded me about those stories where the main character moves to a different house and that house never feels like home. Well, I was in Japan where every single thing felt like home: sleeping, eating, riding on the LEFT side of the road, and the language.

​When in Tokyo my favorite place was definitely Shibuya Crossing. And in general my favorite place was Toshogu-shrine, this is because it felt really cool walking through Japanese architecture buildings, and it was perfect temperature.
